Hormone therapy is normally shortened to HT, and the phrase hormone replacement therapy is at times used to refer to it. HT is a medication for women during the age of menopause when several troublesome symptoms start becoming a problem. The medication works by replacing hormones that are needed by the body, yet the body cannot synthesize them. There are specialists in this field everywhere, but Jolla is outstanding. As such, when in need of best hormone therapy La Jolla should be prioritized. Advice from specialists in the area could be very helpful.

There are different forms of the therapy, but the most commonly used ones combine estrogen and progesterone treatment. However, some HTs also contain estrogen treatment alone. The efficiency of HT makes it good for treating troublesome menopausal symptoms. Systemic HT can be found in form of gels, sprays, creams, skin patch, and pills.

At the moment night sweats and hot flashes can only be effectively treated by Systemic HT. The estrogen that is incorporated in systemic HT makes them capable of treating various vaginal symptoms as well. Dryness, discomfort during the act of sex, and itching and/or burning can also be treated well using systemic HT.

Low-dose vaginal products are other types of HT, which are manufactured from preparations of estrogen. They come in form of ring forms, creams, and tablets. They do a good job at treating urinary and/or vaginal problems and symptoms. The quantity absorbed absorption into the body is minimal, but they work effectively at the same time. Low-dose estrogen preparations are ineffective with night sweats, hot flashes, and osteoporosis.

Some time back, HT was thought to have long-term benefits of preventing one from developing possible dementia and heart disease. However, with further research, that stand has since changed a lot. A huge clinical trial found out that the treatment has benefits at reducing menopausal symptoms, but also has several side effects. The conclusion arrived was that the risks were far much more than the benefits, and as such, doctors became reluctant prescribing the treatment.

When the clinical results were investigated further, it became apparent that HT may be beneficial to women who are healthy. For instance, estrogen can lower possibility of heart disease when taken early during postmenopausal years. A link between heart disease and HT was also not found in recent studies.

So far, treatment of menopausal symptoms is best treated by estrogen as the most effective option. For healthy people, the benefits outweigh the risks. One situation where benefits outweigh risks is when hot flashes being experienced are moderate or severe. Additionally, when menopause comes before forty and when bone mass has been lost. Parkinsonism, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, depression, and anxiety are more likely to be suffered if one experiences early menopause and does not use HT till age 45.

Chances of many types of breast cancer are reduced by early menopause. Protective benefits of hormone therapy for women who attain premature menopause are more than the risks. HT has a lot of complications and one should discuss with their doctor before using the medication.
